The Four Evangelists 1625

"The Four Evangelists" (1625) by Jacob Jordaens depicts the four evangelists - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - grouped around a central figure, likely Christ. The dynamic composition and expressive figures are characteristic of Jordaens’s Baroque style, known for its use of dramatic lighting and emotional intensity. This painting, currently housed in the Louvre, demonstrates Jordaens' mastery of depicting both religious and humanistic themes.
